10 Biggest Earthquakes in All History

I'm from Alaska. My father was born there in 1960, and his family was still living there during the quake. They have home videos and newspaper clippings from it. Alaska is one of the most seismically active places in North America, we're talking 5k earthquakes per year.

The world's largest earthquake with an instrumentally documented magnitude occurred on May 22, 1960 near Valdivia, in southern Chile. It was assigned a magnitude of 9.5 by the United States Geological Survey. It is referred to as the "Great Chilean Earthquake" and the "1960 Valdivia Earthquake."

I was expecting him to mention the New Madrid Earthquakes since those were a series of massive earthquakes that occurred over a period of three years. Those created waterfalls on the Mississippi River, made it flow in reverse and made it disappear by draining into massive gaps that opened in the river bed then shoot back out like a massive geyser when the gaps closed up.

Sadly, I think that earthquake is obscure, but if it is, then in my opinion, it shouldn't be.

[@billwilson3609]

@@ro4eva It is obscure due to happening in a remote region that was sparsely populated and credible eyewitness accounts taking a year or more to get back to the East Coast. The USGS is leery of that fault zone so has all the oil and gas pipelines crossing the river well away from areas that may experience damage and had the major bridges designed to withstand earthquakes.

When the Cascadia Subduction Zone ruptures and if it ruptures the entire length, which is longer than the rupture length of the Great Chilean Earthquake, it will become the strongest in recorded history. Some estimates are that it will reach a magnitude of 10. From Medocino, CA to Southern BC, there will be complete devastation from both the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami, and damage will extend inward for several hundred miles, which could level Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver.

A former coworker of mine was in Japan during that quake, as an English teacher. Once everything stopped shaking, she knew there’d be a tsunami. She got all 35 of her students to the school roof, and… continued teaching! Even when parents arrived to pick up their kids, she insisted they stay on the roof. Even when the tsunami warnings expired (why??) she kept her class up there. They were probably starting to think their American teacher is crazy, when they heard a different teacher screaming “TSUNAMI!” And sprinting toward the school ahead of the wall of mud. Fortunately, she did get inside and up to the roof in time. After that, no one thought the American teacher was so crazy!

We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events. In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system. It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will. Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high. Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry? Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.

There are five forces that control or dominate the planet... 1- The first theory (horizontal dynamic movement) and its end... The occurrence of storms, rain, floods and snow, at unexpected times and places, is because of the expiration of this theory, which needs to be balanced... 2- The second theory (vertical dynamic movement) and its end... This movement or force controls or dominates the earthquakes, earth cracks, drying up of rivers and lakes, earth openings, mountain collapses, and the emergence of drinking water springs on the ground... It becomes out of control... These phenomena increased due to the end of this theory... The third theory: it is water that rotates the earth...

For me, the most devastating earthquake of recent years was the one that devastated Haiti. The country has not recovered from it to this day, despite the passage of 13 years. The earthquake in Haiti had a magnitude of "only" 7 on the Richter scale, but the effects were terrible. According to the Haitian government, the earthquake killed 316,000 people. fatalities. Some three million people may have been affected in some other way: injured or left homeless.The earthquake killed the soldiers of the UN stabilization mission MINUSTAH. Among the soldiers stationed on the island since 2004, there are four Brazilians killed, three Jordanian military personnel and eight members of Chinese peacekeepers. Soldiers died under the rubble of collapsed buildings. The head of the stabilization mission, Hédi Annabi, was also killed. The earthquake resulted in the deaths of Archbishop of Port-au-Prince Joseph Serge Miot, Nobel Prize nominee Zilda Arns, Justice Minister Paul Denis and opposition leader Michel Gaillard. Most of the historic buildings in Port-au-Prince were destroyed, including The Presidential Palace, the seat of the National Assembly and Notre-Dame Cathedral. Less damage was also recorded in the buildings of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Communication and Culture, Ministry of Justice, as well as at the international airport in the capital. The hospital in Pétionville, in the wealthy suburbs, and most of the other medical facilities in the city center were destroyed. The overcrowded main prison in Port-au-Prince was also damaged, causing prisoners to escape. The headquarters of the UN stabilization mission, located in the Christopher Hotel, and the offices of the World Bank were also damaged. The Hôtel Montana, which had about 300 guests, collapsed, and the fate of about 200 people is unknown. The harbor where the ships were located was severely damaged; oil spilled from moored ships into the sea.

What does the 'o' stand for in the earthquake size? Is it any different than a '6.k'? Or a '6.r'?

[@sherimatukonis6016]

Zero... the NUMBER.

[@justguy-4630]

None in recorded human history ever reached magnitude 10 however, fortunately

The 2004 earthquake had a toll of 250K and countries around the area notified the local govt but the latter didn't want to lose the money spent by the tourists. The Chernobyl catastrophy was a technical failure due to any solely govt controlled agency and it left many with cancer for a few decades.

No one will talk about Pakistan earth quake which killed 100k+ people it was fourth biggest earthquake

14:27 That's not true, the people don't live there because their homes were totally destroyed and they don't want to move back, it has nothing to do with contamination. Where the homes weren't destroyed by the tsunami, people moved back within months.

They were scared! it was the strongest megathrust since the 800s, which that one was a 9.0 but the one 13 yrs ago was a 9.1, it was ONE magnitude stronger than that quake

[@itz_andrey9137]

Japan earthquake in 2011 was also 9.1

The benefit of earthquakes... When you rebuild... Upgrade the engineering technology.

It proves that nuclear power is the most destructive way of creating electricity.
